Rupert Evans is GREAT. There's no denying he's the best thing (the only thing) redeeming about this show.
I haven't watched the previous Charmed series, so this review comes from a clean slate. The pilot moved at warp speed with very little background info about the mom. The sisters had zero chemistry and not enough backstory for me to care about them at all. The only thing I got from it was that they're feminists, don't like cis-male professors, and punch others in the face who disagree with them. I don't mind politics but come on.
I would've liked to see more about how they plan to control their gifts, less anger and more heart, some room to breathe in the writing so I could connect with these characters.
I'm not going to say anything bad about the actors because I don't think it's their fault they were given a terrible script and roles.
Maybe CW should've gone with Wayward Sisters and Legacies instead of this. I will not be tuning in again.
